Klochkova, Meolans Win on Day Two of Brazilian Nationals

BRASILIA, Brazil, Sept. 19. FOREIGN swimmers turned in the best performances on Day Two of the Brazilian national long course championships in Brasilia, this nation's capital city. Foreign swimmers are allowed to swim in Brazilian meets so long as they affiliate with a Brazilian club.

The meet is also being used as to meet qualifying standards for next year's World Championships in Barcelona and Pan American Games in Santo Domingo.

Olympic champion and world record-holder Yana Klochkova, Ukraine, had no trouble winning the women's 400m IM in a meet record 4:49.66, easily dispensing with Argentina's Georgina Bardach, at 4:55.00. Bardach set the South American record in Calgary last June at 4:46.34.

Argentina's Jose Meolans had a rougher time of it in the men's 100m fly, but he was first to the wall in 54.56 seconds, three-tenths ahead of Gabriel Mangabeira.
